The Malaysian police are looking for a suspect, a Pakistani, for allegedly stealing from the accounts of people who were aboard missing flight MH370. The suspect is believed to have had some of the money deposited into his bank account through an online transfer.
The search is part of an investigation in which a Malaysian bank officer and her husband were charged on Wednesday with forgery, theft and other offences after allegedly stealing more than $30,000 from accounts of four people aboard MH370.
Nur Shila Kanan and her mechanic husband Basheer Ahmad Maula Sahul Hameed pleaded not guilty in a Kuala Lumpur court to a total of 16 charges, their lawyer Hakeem Aiman Affandi said.
The couple are alleged to have withdrawn a total of 110,643 ringgit from the accounts of two Malaysians and two Chinese nationals who were on the Malaysia Airlines flight. The withdrawals were allegedly made via ATMs and electronic transfers between May 14 and July 8, Hakeem added.

@mahi: Or maybe you done .... By The way what in the world is a chinies..
@Nope: Innocent until proven guilty
Its our birthright to be the suspect of every terrorist act across the globe...lol.. We commit crimes.. And then cry why the world doubts on us..?
It is a shame that no one is talking about the female Malay bank officer and her husband who were the main culprit in this scandal. The money couldn't have been transferred without her inside knowledge and actions.
@mahi: Don't you read anything? The report says a Pakistani was involved. Learn from Aseem, what he says is a fair comment.
@Nope:
lol .....why every mis deed put on Pakistanis...may b this mis deed done by some chinies or may b some Indians done...but all people want to degrade Pakistan only.. why.....?
@Nope: thats unfair. not all pakistanis are terrorists,,, not all pakistanis are thieves. not a nice comment.
@Nope: They are undoubtly capable in this particular field.
At least he is guilty of stealing money of the dead........here we are eating the dead....
And these are such vile people who bring a bad name for any country, I think Pakistan should help Malaysia to find that culprit. If you can not help to make a good image of your country then do not bring a bad name.
Thats software industry for Pakistan.!
Its probably Nawaz Shareef.
........and then you wonder why they don't allow us in their country.....even turning back the people who apply for asylum.
Lol..Again a Pakistani .
